"I shouldn't think you'd have to pledge your allegiance to us... at least, not yet..." Fiyero mumbled, thinking. It didn't take her long to get an idea.

"Tormod, Ilyana. Can I have a word with you?" Fiyero asked, walking away from the group.
"Sure..." Tormod said, following her. "What do you need...?"
"We're going to go to the Begnion Desert and try to get aid from Stefan's group. I've also got some personal business to take care of there... so, can I trust you to watch over our small village?"
"Um... I guess we could do that... just be careful, alright?"
"Don't worry about us, Tormod. Now, if anything happens, you know where to go, right?"
"Right."

Fiyero returned to address the group. "We're heading first to the Begnion Desert to seek aid from... an old friend of ours. If we're all packed and set to go, then we'd better get going - it's a long march." she said, mounting Palti.

eresa smiled and shrugged. "Even though that's not exactly one of my favorite places, a flying nit is good to have near. Dark isn't slowed by those absurdly huge dunes of sand, so I can help you out pretty good." She smiled, then rubbed her stallion's midnight fur before ndging his reins, resulting in that the pegasus trotted forwards, haking his ebon mane.

"Lead the way." said Alex as he grinned at Soren. As he began walking, Alex began to think.

Now that I think about it, will I not be returning to Magvel? I wonder if I should bother to contact Gerik and tell him I'm caught up in a pre-war...ha, he'd probably swim over the ocean just to be a part of it. That old chump, what a great leader. I only hope this 'group' we have here is going to be lead with as great honor and wit as Gerik does...

Alex decided to stop thinking about that. I just hope I haven't gotten myself involved in something outta my league...

((All votes to skip ahead a few days 'till they get to the edge of the desert, say aye.))

Alex laughed heartily. "Ha!" he bellowed. "This desert doesn't even come close to the heat in Jehanna. The sand isn't even as thick as the stuff back home. Why, this is a luxury compared to the sand at Jehanna."

Alex grinned, but stopped when he realized that the others probably didn't care much about his pointless rabble about desert comparing.

Dark had been soaring in the air for most of the trip, high above the sandstorm, and Teresa grinned. "Ya know, I feel sorry for you all down there! Gtting slapped by that sand! Hahaha!" She yelled down, trying to ignore the rather intense heat. She shgrugged, then looked out below. 'We're here..I think..' She thought.

Soren dismounted Palti and Fiyero led her horse inside a building. She shook the sand off of her clothes, then tied him to a random stick.

"Stay, Palt. Don't need you getting lost in a sandstorm."

Now, to find Stefan... she thought, walking back outside. He'd be around here somewhere, but where exactly's the issue...

Seeing Soren dismount, Teresa nudged Dark with her boot, causing the pegasus to fold his wings against his body and dive terribly quickly, like a falling anvil. He outstetched his large wings at the last momenbt, pulling his body up enough to let him land safely, hooves first. Teresa dismounted, then led him to where Palti was tied. She spotted a sghort stick, nd shrugged. "Not that I don't trust you, Dark, but you'll probably fly away. Not a good thing." She tied him to it, tightening it a bit, then looke around.

((Dinnef time..))

Fiyero also looked around, thinking. Hm... They should be here... ah, yeah.

"They're probably asleep. They know better than to be active in this heat..." she mumbled, then turned to the others. "I guess we need to kill a few hours until sundown. That's when they should show themselves."

Well, I guess I could take a nap... she thought as she walked back inside the building. She pulled her hood over her eyes, leaned against a wall, and dozed off.

---

Not a bad idea, there... Soren thought, watching Fiyero go inside. He took a few steps out into the desert, took off his hood, and stretched. "Mm..."

After a few moments, he pulled his hood back up and walked back up to the group. "I guess it doesn't matter what you do at the moment, just be back by sundown... I guess..." he muttered.

Teresa nodded, then leaned against Dark. "You'll stay near, right?" The pegasus snorted, and Teresa smiled as she untied him. "Stay here, though. In the shade." Dark nickered softly, then folloed his master into the building, shaking his wings, mane and tail to get stray grains of sand off.

Alex sighed. Well, might as well get in some exercise...

Alex began his normal routine: Jogging around in the sand, swinging his sword to improve his form, and breathing exercises to strengthen his mind.

While he was jogging, Alex saw something out of the corner of his eye. He saw a moving lump in the sand. There's something alive in the sand... He walked up to it, but it darted off. Alex chased after it.

After about three minutes of pursuit, the lump stopped. "What the-" was all Alex manged to say as sand chunks flew into the air. A repulsive creature arose out of the sand.

Alex stared in awe and fear. A sand worm! And huge one at that. I'm no match for something that powerful...but it's fight or be eaten alive. This thing could outspeed me in a heartbeat.

Teresa bolted upright, hearing the sandworm's screech. "Shoot! Not another one of those worm thingys!" She lept onto Dark, who pawed the groud then reared, galoping forwards and taking to the sky. The Falconknight held Serain out, then spotted the large worm-like creature. She drove her lance through it, then pulled it out swiftly, Dark pulling up fast enough to avoid being hit. Teresa gritted her teeth, seeng that the monster was still alive, and very at that. With a nudge of her boot, Dark was diving forwards, and the knight thrust Serain into the worm's flesh once more, ignorinhg the screeches of pain. Dark soared upwars, ears back as the shrill cries reached them. Teresa held her lance high up, ready for another go.

Soren turned at the sound of a screech, seeing a sand worm attacking Teresa and Alex. What in the... he thought, running over to them, but stopping short.

He stretched his arms out, then spun around and cast an Elwind spell, landing a direct hit on the worm. It shook, then lay still, a large gash across it's side.

Soren cleared his throat. "I doubt it's dead..." he mumbled, watching the worm warily. He only took his eyes off of it for a second to check on everyone. ...where's Alex? I hope I didn't bury him in the sand... he thought, looking around. Bah, this desert-- The worm's tail flipped and hit Soren, sending him flying back about ten feet and knocking him out.

"You fat maggot!!!!" yelled Alex as he dove into the worm's open mouth. The only plan I have left...

As he slid down the slippery insides of the worm, Alex kept looking for the main purple vein. He saw it dead ahead of him, so he got his sword ready. In this cramped tube, I've only got enough room for one sword swing. If I miss...

Teresa just stod there in horrified shock when she saw Soren fly by, and Alex dive into the sandworm. She itched to drive Serain through ythe beast, but knew she couldn't. A;lex was in there. She suddenly heard a strangled shreik, and turned, seeing the sandworm lie flat, writhing a little, and thrashing the sand dunes witrh its large, powerful tail. After several moments, it lay still. The Falconknight paused, then rushed to Soren, still unsure of what to do. She knew no healing magic, but had an elixer. She had no idea what to do, take him back to Fiyero- WEho surely knew how to use staves- or heal him herself.

Soren turned his head slightly, seeing Teresa's outline blur to black... then a forgotten sight of the inside of a cottage.

The first thing he heard were the scornful words he'd heard far too many times before.

"How in Ashera's name did I get stuck caring for this thing?!"

Oh, sweet goddess... not again... please, anything but this...

((Can't think of much else to write, as imo R_R should post again before I do anything... Ah, and poor Soren.))

Alex laughed inside the now-dead sand worm. He quickly slashed through thick innerds, and crawled out of the carcass.

He looked at the others. "Well...that's over." Alex breathed heavily. He sniffed in the air. "Whew...I smell awful now..."

Alex then remembered. "Ah, but I'm not important. We gotta tend to Soren first..."

Soren twitched and clenched his teeth. In his mind, he was stuck in the past that loathed him so... and things weren't looking good there.

---

Fiyero stood atop a sand dune, her cloak flapping in the wind as she watched the others. She'd gotten there just as Alex dove into the worm, and, knowing it'd be over soon, decided to keep her distance.

"Looks like he beat me to it."

Fiyero glanced to the side. Stefan stood there, gazing down at the others.

"Mm. I guess he did." As she mumbled that, Fiyero saw something. A black dot. She squinted, trying to see what - or who - it was. Hm. I can't see from here... she thought as she took a few steps forward, Stefan following her.
